Study Abroad

Why Study Abroad?

The Mount's study abroad programs will add tremendous value to
your college experience, and added dimension to your
education.

Academics translate to career
opportunity

Globalism is this decade's new watchword. Fortune 500 executives
have said that they were “much more likely” to hire someone with
international experience over a student who had studied only
domestically. Employment statistics indicate that language and
cross-cultural skills are invaluable assets, and create a hiring
advantage across all disciplines.

Broaden your perspective

Students from
all disiplines can successfully complete a degree and travel to a
new country and culture. Having a comparative perspective in your
field is invaluable. Nurses: what is healthcare like in England?
Teachers: what methods of evaluation are used in Laos? IT students:
India is on the cutting edge; shouldn’t you be?
No matter what your intellectual journey, the global classroom will
give you the perspective you need to succeed.

Competitive edge

When you study abroad, you invest in yourself as a scholar, a
global citizen, and a future employee. Your enhanced understanding
of our world will offer fresh insight into the economics that
affect our society. While abroad, you may have the opportunity
to volunteer or intern, helping to gain even more of a competitive
edge. Here's how you can add some content.

Cultural competency

Cultural competency is regarded highly in all fields. In nursing
and healthcare, understanding the background of a culture of a
patient Is critical. In education, the cultural competencies you'll
enjoy will allow you, as a teacher, to meet your students where
they are most comfortable.
